Google founders may get their own Hollywood film

Michael London’s Groundswell Productions and producer John Morris have acquired the rights to make a film from journalist Ken Auletta’s book “Googled: The End of the World as We Know It” published last fall by Penguin.

"It's about these two young guys who created a company that changed the world, and how the world in turn changed them," London told Deadline New York. "The heart of the movie is their wonderful edict, 'Don't be evil.' At a certain point in the evolution of a company so big and powerful, there are a million challenges to that mandate. Can you stay true to principles like that as you become as rich and powerful as that company has become? The intention is to be sympathetic to Sergey and Larry, and hopefully the film will be as interesting as the company they created."
